Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar has appealed to the public to upload to the Bangalore city police Facebook page photographs showing people smoking tobacco in public places where such activity is banned, according to a story by Chaitanya Swamy for the Bangalore Mirror.

The public is able to inform on smokers also by calling 100.

These measures are said to be part of an intensified drive against smoking in public places, which is banned under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (prohibition of advertisement and regulation of trade of commerce, production, supply and distribution) Act, 2003.
